Hi Janell, I'd like to draw to your attention if you've not already seen it the discussion about the {{tl|Geograph}} template at [[Template talk:Geograph]].

== Headings on County Pages for Utah ==

Hi janell,

We appreciate the discussions and decisions made by a community of experts and interested parties regarding headings on the county pages especially for New York and Illinois, We want to adopt many of those changes and adapt some specifically for Utah. Will you please review the page for [https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject_Utah_Tasks_County_Headings FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah County Headings county headings in Utah] and make comments on its discussion page?

WikiProject to improve help content

Just wanted to make you aware of a page that was create a while back to help track the improvement of the help content. I found the page linked to one of the basic help page, the overview maybe, and removed the link because the content on this page didn't apply. Anyway the page name is now FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Topics needed by new wiki contributors and you can take it from here. If the page is not needed, so ahead and delete it. If you can use it for something, feel free. --Fran 05:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Tour Changes

Janell- I do like what your sandbox shows, help me understand the statement though "reword to take away the idea that you need help from communty members."

Because there is so much in the wiki, as an example when one gets on search and types 'youth' it brings up so much material I don't like to limit the wiki in saying "HOW TO..." because I am afraid searchers will not realize how much is there does that make sense? what about something more encompassing like

Learning and reaching out doing Family History

I don't think it should be called genealogy but rather family history I think President Packer wants us to be consistent in Family History because it is so much more. what do you feel?

thanks for all you do,

dawne

Dawne, great question - I think you're referring to my comments on the Tour Discussion page? I think that the Tour page as it currently stands is all about "how to get help" rather than what the wiki is about. That gives users the idea that the wiki is so hard, you need help to use it. People shouldn't feel they need help just to use the wiki, though some will. So my thought is that we should mention how to get help, but not make that the central message of the page, if that makes sense?

This went on a slightly different angle than my comments did; take a look at that page and see what you think, and feel free to edit! --janellv 23:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Janell, thank you for the kind words, and for the 4-tilda trick. You yourself are making amazing contributions for which smiles and thanks are due many times over.

Hi, thanks for helping out! Yes, we will want to delete it - looks like it's already been done. To take care of it they added the {{delete}} template to the main page. So that's ok.

Geograph Template

Hi Janell, I've been told about some feedback recieved from support with regard to uploading images from the website Geograph. As many of the images being added to English parishes are being sourced from Geograph, I created a new template {{Geograph}} which is a custom version of {{Information}}, following a pattern used in WikiMedia Commons where they have a template for images from Flickr. Unfortunately when this template has been used, Support wrote back about needing to use {{Information}} (see User talk:Cottrells#Geograph_Template). Are you able to let the right people know that this template is OK to use when uploading images. BTW I have also created {{Flickr}} so that can be used too. --Steve (talk | contribs) 09:25, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Steve, I let everyone know on this in our meeting yesterday, just forgot to finish this comment. Should this be added to the uploading images help document?

AAQ badge

Hi, I noticed you were placing an AAQ badge on some pages. I thought it looked very similar in color to the {{HR Known Issues}} badge. I was thinking a change of color might be better. What do you think about this:

Thanks for the suggestion - I have been thinking a lot about these... we have a number of these badges now linking to the forums, the research courses, indexing, and now this, and they don't really go well together. So I am thinking that we want to create something completely different that can bring all of them together, maybe in one box or something...? -- janellv(talk| contribs) 18:53, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Originally I thought I was just making a suggestion for a color change, but then I saw the contributor help badge. I don't really have any ideas on how the various forum badges could be brought together unless there was some type of unifying icon for the forums or a standard color scheme for them. -- Lotje2 18:53, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
